High Density Corridors
Cities need streets that are safe, clear, and easy to use. The HDC Bengaluru project reworks key arterial roads and parts of the ring road. About 84 km is redesigned with better carriageways, safer junctions, wide footpaths, cycle tracks, bus stops, trees, lighting, and clear signage.
The project focuses on making streets work for everyone. Footpaths are continuous and barrier-free. Junctions are simpler and safer. Space is planned for vendors, transport, and daily use. The design improves comfort, reduces conflict, and supports the everyday life of the street.
Arterial roads reimagined as safer, people-friendly streets that support movement, access, and everyday life.
The design was developed in close collaboration with the engineering team at Infrasupport. Each stretch was studied through detailed surveys to understand traffic, movement, and existing conditions. The approach balances mobility with safety and everyday use. This is possible only with the collaboration between urban design thinking and infrastructure engineering.
A clear and practical HDC Standards Manual was created to guide the project. It defines streets, junctions, crossings, islands, and turning radii in a simple, illustrated format. This ensures consistency across all corridors and supports smooth implementation on site. The design also allows flexibility to respond to local conditions, while maintaining a unified street character across the network.
